The proposed project can be partially completed or prospective however, the candidate will be expected to present his or her research during the symposium.Locus Sonus will offer critical feedback and advice, access to the technical facilities of ESAA and dedicated help from an experienced Pure Data programmer (notably for projects involving LibPd running under android). Seconde Nature will facilitate public presentations of the ongoing research.

A global stipend of 3000€ par laureate will be expected to cover all costs (living expenses, travel, materials). Basic accommodation can be made available.
